Holy shit they've been at Titan for at least a solid 5 years+ at his point. Even if they announce it you figure it's still 2+ years out given how Blizzard works so there's really nothing to get excited about regardless. And given how they'll monetize the shit out of it now do you really think it's something you'll want to play several years from now?
